Adding Facebook listings is now a bit harder than it used to be due to the company over-reacting to the GDPR legislation. Hopefully in the future, this becomes simpler but we have worked out this workaround for now. It takes up to ten minutes to set it up.

You will need a PlaceCal user account to follow this guide. Get in touch with a PlaceCal admin if you don’t have one.

Note
